As we have fallen out of the WC's and finished 5th (our worst result in the last 4 WC's), and with Palffy retiring from international hockey at the age of 34 (too soon IMO), and the coach being propbably sacked, and with our first automatic place for the Olympics, new winds will blow in our national team.
But first, report card:
G Karol Krizan: Didnt play a second, so I cant rate him. Wasnt even a backup.
G: Rastislav Stana: He played about 35 minutes against CZE, got 5 goals and an ~70%. Played badly in that game, but the whole team did. C-
G Jan Lasak: Was our clear no.1 and played well. Cant really blame him for any goal we conceded but he can play better. A-/B+
D Ivan Majesky: Played only 13 secs, so cant rate. Went out injured with torn knee ligaments after a crach with Kostisyn. Will be out for 3 months or so.
D Lubomir Visnovsky: Our best D-man by far. Played 35 minutes against CAN, was on the ice when we scored all of our goals and we didnt conceded with him on the ice against CAN. Was great offensively, good defenisvely. A+
D: Martin Strbak: Was partnered with Visnovsky, and they made a good pair. B+
(As this would take too long, Ill just post ratings, if curious why I gave such a rating, ask, and I will write a write up.
D Radoslav Suchy: B-
